Print on a PS-printer creates a very large printfile

Post by AndyK »

Hi,

we are using a printer Olivetti d-color witch provide print as PS- and PLC-Mode

When I print a document I get a really large print file and it takes a long time for printing the file.
whit the Adobe Reader the print file is much smaller and it is quicker.

Print with the AdobeReader . . . . . . . . Print with pdfXChangeViewer
. . Image . . . . . . . . . . . Image

What can I do to do the job faster?

Thanks
Andy

Hi AndyK,

At this time there is nothing you can do to improve your performance. The challenge lies in how we process post script and PCL. We are aware of this and will be addressing it for Version 3...Just not the initial release.
Hope that helps!

Hi Jamie,

thanks for your open words.

When do you plan to publish the version 3? ;)

Hey AndyK,

Version 3 release is planned for this fall but don't expect the processing optimizations until sometime after.

Hi,

when I deactivate the Option "Print as Image" the file size will be smaller and the print goes faster :)

Hello Andy,

Yes - that's definitely going to improve things, but please be aware that we can not guarantee a correct output to a PCL printer with "print as image" deactivated - so please do monitor your print results, and if there is a problematic file - make sure to pint just it with "print as image" turned on.

Best,
Stefan
